Water Bottles, Food Containers, and Food Packaging

Please note that this section contains my personal notes from my readings on this topic.

Personally, I try to stick to glass, stainless steel, and silicone tops. I avoid saran wrap as much as possible as well.

From The Toxic Sandbox (2007) by Libby McDonald; page 92:

When you think about your kitchen you realize the room where you prepare food is overflowing with plastic, including soda, juice, and water bottles; shopping bags; yogurt containers; cereal box liners; cling wrap; and sandwich bags. The really good news is that food packaging tends to be made of “food-grade” plastics with no known health hazards. However, everyday use, high temperatures, and contact with fats all speed up the process of phthalate and bisphenol A disbursal in products that contain these ingredients.
